I wanted to sell my iPhone on Junkmail in South Africa. To make a long story short, this guy and two other scammers tried to get me to send the phone before they pay me. All three had this in common:
1. The addresses they give are Surelere, Lagos, Nigeria
2. Bad grammar
3. Lots of \'okays\'
4. They usually refer to \'the item\' instead of being specific.
5. They all have \'account managers\' and use a Bank Of America account(fake)
6. They are VERY persistent. They even threatened to sue me if I don\'t ship the phone(I don\'t know what for...)
